In no particular order. This year, I managed to take sixty photographs. Last year - it was two less. So without further ado, these are some of the cars I liked the look of, or perhaps would like to dream about, or are just plain rare and unusual. The first to come off Photobucket is this Facel Vega - I just loooove the styling with those Air Intakes, and grille - the frontal set up reminds me so much of the 1962 David Brown Lagonda Rapide.

Another Packard - quite magnificent. I think this one is well known in the Classic Car movement.

One of the Packards - magnificent, resplendent in Black and Silver.

'50s MG - delectable even with a rock hard road. A better looker, than a car.

EasternCreek2013060_zps8a86a44a.jpg

This is the business end of the '50s supercharged MG Saloon.

That self-same MG Saloon - apparently the Supercharger boosts power from 40PS to 110 PS. The Supercharger only works when the loud pedal is accessed. It is a delightful little car. Apparently very reliable, as it has been to Melbourne, Brisbane etc. - not bad.

This is another picture, to give an idea of the overall shape of the car.

Regards Styria

N.B. Sorry about long delay - Photobucket is absolutely diabolical to use.

Honda - would you believe I have forgotten the model designation. You all know how rare it is.

EasternCreek2013048_zpsbed39416.jpg

Beautiful Caddies - how can you better them.....

EasternCreek2013042_zps03a3b5b7.jpg

One of my REAL favourites - the Buick of 1948/9.

EasternCreek2013043_zps6da11b09.jpg

Cannot identify this car.......

EasternCreek2013039_zps2ed8fddd.jpg


EasternCreek2013038_zps9f94e61f.jpg

Lovely Packard.........one of my favourites when I first arrived in this country.


EasternCreek2013037_zpsbc873037.jpg

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who can identify the Gleaming Beauty ? :D

EasternCreek2013036_zpsda2721be.jpg

I think this Roundie belongs to our CraigS......

EasternCreek2013035_zpsba8e157c.jpg

EasternCreek2013034_zps84b87944.jpg

The underbonnet view can be quite impressive and daunting.......

EasternCreek2013033_zps067223ce.jpg

Latish model Convertible - very nice, and different to the traditional Brits. That's not a bad thing, BTW.

EasternCreek2013031_zps875f95da.jpg

The next one...just lovely.

Part of the Club Cars contingent - note SEL69L's Diamond Blue (?) with freshly refurbished W126 rims - in the middle of picture.

EasternCreek2013029_zps15a5cf23.jpg

I think this may have been one of the Caddies.

EasternCreek2013028_zps8a5fbf64.jpg

This Silver Ghost was magnificent - it's not a car, but an heirloom of the finest description.

EasternCreek2013027_zps534ea1d4.jpg

EasternCreek2013026_zpsac4e5901.jpg

This is the Rolls Royce's President's car, with his trophy i9n safe keeping. Congratulations, Sir BenzBoy.

EasternCreek2013025_zpsa52c6246.jpg

EasternCreek2013024_zpsf508087d.jpg

Unashamedly, one of my favourite cars.....the Rover 3 litre Cars.

EasternCreek2013023_zps307e7630.jpg

Badges are easy to come by nowadays - well, you'd think so, wouldn't you..

EasternCreek2013022_zps9be053b3.jpg

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big and bulbous - but I like it. Wouldn't have photographed it otherwise......

EasternCreek2013021_zpsbc9a372f.jpg

I like Studebakers, but they didn't get the front styling right - really, it is an abomination, but somebody obviously loves it.

EasternCreek2013020_zpsb3f2e09c.jpg

Is this one better ? Lemme see - I think so, but certainly has the owner's touch all opver it.I can just iomagine the purists.............

EasternCreek2013019_zps5ed080f5.jpg

That's more to my liking - quite elegant. Well, I think so.........

EasternCreek2013018_zps3e3ee5b8.jpg

EasternCreek2013017_zpsca18a8d4.jpg

The only Mustangs I like are the Fastback models.

EasternCreek2013016_zps51e4b256.jpg

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chryslers of that era - at least two to three steps above contempoary Holdens of that period.

EasternCreek2013014_zps931427bc.jpg

EasternCreek2013013_zps81b89905.jpg

Vauxhall Velox and Cresta of that period - way above Holdens etc. of that period - in fact, I used to think that the styling was quite stunning.

EasternCreek2013012_zpse64841d5.jpg

I like Corvettes - this one is exceptional......

EasternCreek2013010_zps5a0f7edb.jpg

Please, feast your eyes on this masterpiece.

EasternCreek2013009_zps26e06f36.jpg

Regards Styria - more to come, I think.
